About Keeno

Keeno is an 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a big smile and a bigger heart. He came into rescue after being left behind at a NYC high-kill shelter—his former family said they "had no time for him anymore." That chapter is over. Keeno is house-trained, fully vetted, neutered, and vaccinated. He knows several commands—including "Sit," "Speak," "Paw," and "Give Me Kiss"—and prefers life at a laid-back, medium-to-low energy pace. Keeno thrives in a quiet home without kids and minimal visitors. For his security, introductions with strangers should happen slowly, ideally while he’s leashed or crated. He gravitates to steady routines and simple lives—he’d suit a homebody or retiree who appreciates loyalty and structure. Keeno enjoys the company of some dogs, most often females or those smaller than him, but gets overwhelmed by dogs his size or bigger. He tends to chase critters, so a cat-free home is best. Keeno’s looking for his real forever home in Flintstone, MD—one where he’s part of someone’s daily rhythm. Ready to add a loyal sidekick to your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
